Very neat. Thanks for sharing, Felix. Looks like all the ER-2
instrumenters are extremely proactive in sharing their quick-look
imagery, which I appreciate a lot. I really like the cloud bows in the
DOLP images. Incidentally, what causes the striping in some of the DOLP
images? If it is too technical, feel free to postpone explanation until
we are in Namibia.
Cheers,
Jens
